Official Title: The Gut Virome as a Trigger for IBD: From Metagenomics to Pathogenesis

Brief Summary: Alterations in the composition of the intestinal microbiota (dysbiosis) are well known involved in the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal disorders, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD).While bacteria have always gotten the most attention in gastrointestinal disorders, the viral component of the human gut microbiome, called the "gut virome", is underestimated.In addition to bacteriophages, the gut virome also harbors viruses that…
